The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2060 - 2062: Gossip from Yangshu Village 2

"After bringing her back, things were fine at first, but problems arose after half a month. Yang Lichun said that giving a concubine meant they were a big family, and needed rules. So, she set a schedule for the teacher to pay her respects morning and night. That wasn’t all; she was even assigned all the chores like cooking and laundry. Soon, the teacher’s smooth hands turned rough like chicken claws."

"Now, Yang Lichun doesn’t do any chores, just chats here and there, bragging about having a free maid at home."

Yang Chuxia figured it out: Yang Lichun never intended to take in the woman as a concubine but rather to treat her as a maid.

"Doesn’t the teacher protest? Would Li Anshun agree to this?"

"How could she not protest?" Yang Xiayun chuckled, "I used to look down on Yang Lichun, but now I see she’s quite skilled. She argued that the teacher had been in the house for months and hadn’t had a child, clearly unable to bear any. If she can’t extend the Li Family’s lineage, what’s the use of her? The Li Family doesn’t keep such idle people! That teacher insisted she could have children, claiming the timing wasn’t right, and even Li Anshun thought so."

"So Yang Lichun invited a doctor, who diagnosed that the female teacher could never bear children. Li Anshun didn’t believe it and called several doctors, but the diagnoses were the same. That made him less fond of the teacher; previously, he would defend her when Yang Lichun made it difficult, but not anymore."

"Later, people in the village said the female teacher couldn’t have children because Yang Lichun gave her sterilization medicine, mixed in the wedding drink on the day she became a concubine. Everyone thought it was just a rumor until Fourth Aunt confirmed it, claiming she overheard Yang Lichun telling her sister-in-law. Moreover, not only the female teacher but Li Anshun also couldn’t have children. It’s said Yang Lichun was afraid if he brought back another woman and had more kids, the inheritance for her children would be less."

Yang Chuxia wiped her forehead with a kerchief, "Who would’ve thought? She has such tricks up her sleeve; really makes you see her in a new light. But that female teacher deserved it, getting involved with Li Anshun knowing he had a wife and kids. What kind of teacher is that? Where did our dad find such a person?"

Li Anshun deserved it too, living up to the saying that men get wicked once they have money. Just owning grain shops made him so conceited.

"Our dad was so angry that he dismissed all the teachers from the school in one go. He’s hired a new batch now, and this group is much better, seemingly more capable."

"All dismissed because of one person?"

Luo Linyu, seeing Yang Xiayun drinking water nonstop, said, "Cousin-in-law, let my sister-in-law rest; I’ll continue."

"Why call me sister-in-law? Your brother and I aren’t married yet."

"It’ll happen sooner or later, so calling you sooner or later is the same," Luo Linyu waved her hand, "Cousin-in-law, not everyone is fit to be called a teacher."

"Do you remember Yang Jinxiu?"

"Yes, I remember. She came to see me last time I went back."

"Isn’t her family in the village without any males, just daughters?" Luo Linyu said, "She has a youngest sister, thirteen this year, who got involved with a male teacher at the school."
